Silicon Metal Market Dynamics

Silicon Metal Market Driver

Increasing demand for high-strength aluminium alloy for vehicles is a major driving factor.

  • While growing demand for fuel-efficient automobiles and reducing their carbon footprint is the major driver for the swelling use of silicon metal in aluminium forging and will tend to remain the same for a long time.
  • Increasing smartphones and other smart electronic devices use Silicon semiconductors as a major component in it and this is the most demanding semiconductor substance globally. Growing disposable income in developing nations is increasing the demand for more advanced electronic products which also propels the demand for silicon semiconductors. These all factors will fuel the silicon metal market growth during the analysis period.

Silicon Metal Market Restraint

The increasing cost of production is a major restriction for the market.

  • Major factor restraining the market is the high cost of production for silicon metal. The SAF process consumes a lot of energy which in turn increases the cost of production of the silicon. Silicon production is a very labour-intensive process and also consumes a lot of energy for silicon purification.
  • Another factor that restrains the growth of the silicon metal market is control of the supply chain of the silicon globally with some limited nation and disruption in it will inflate the price of the commodity and slow down the market growth.

FAQs

Silicon Metal Market size was valued at USD 12.4 billion in 2019 and is poised to grow from USD 13.12 billion in 2023 to USD 20.6 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% in the forecast period (2024-2031).

The global silicon metal market is relatively fragmented, with a high level of competition. Few large players, like ABB Ltd, Honeywell, and Kiva Systems, now control the market in terms of market share. These industry leaders are extending their customer base across several areas, and many corporations are creating strategic and collaborative initiatives with other start-up enterprises to enhance their market share and profitability. 'Elkem AS', 'Ferroglobe PLC', 'Dow Inc.', 'Wacker Chemie AG', 'Rusal', 'The Quartz Corp.', 'Silicon Metal Industries (SMI)', 'Globe Specialty Metals, Inc.', 'Mississippi Silicon LLC', 'KCC Corporation', 'Yunnan Yongchang Silicon Industry Co., Ltd.', 'Zhejiang Kaihua Yuantong Silicon Material Co., Ltd.', 'Minasligas Comércio de Ferro Ligas Ltda.', 'FerroAtlántica Group', 'VestaSi', 'Simcoa Operations Pty Ltd', 'RW silicium GmbH', 'Westbrook Resources Ltd', 'Pengding Holdings Ltd', 'Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.'

While growing demand for fuel-efficient automobiles and reducing their carbon footprint is the major driver for the swelling use of silicon metal in aluminium forging and will tend to remain the same for a long time.

The key trends that have been seen in recent years are regarding the automotive industry. Increasing domestic vehicle demand globally is increasing and this will go on for some time. And this swelling up in demand is creating a demand for aluminium metal demand which is derived from silicon metal. This cascading demand tends to increase the global silicon metal market growth in the coming years.

In 2021, the Asia Pacific accounted for the major market share in the global silicon metal market. China with the largest aluminium alloy and metal producer also produces a large quantity of silicon and dominate the worldwide silicon metal market. Other countries like Japan and India with growing automobile sectors and progressing economic activity also dominate the global silicon metal market. At present, the increasing use of smartphones and other smart electronic gadgets propel the demand for silicon metal as it happens to be the major component in these products. All these factors will contribute to the growth of the global silicon metal market during the analysis period.
